> Per [the discussion on JDK versions|http://search-hadoop.com/m/DHED4Zlz0R1], we require Java 7 for 1.0+ (also we have code that only compiles under Java 7).
> Right now, if you attempt to build with JDK6, Maven will happily oblige and then give you a cannot find symbol error about a Java 7 class we use.
> We should
> * update the Build HBase guide to reference our supported Java versions docs
> * update our pom so that Maven will correctly complain about jdk versions.
